Some Political Implications in the Movie “The Rocket”

Abstract

This article took Kim Mo Dunt’s ‘The Rocket’ as a case study to extract political meaning within the film by using textual interpretation methodology and argument, The researcher found that there were ontological debate between superstitious, religious belief and scientific knowledge of the people characterized on screen. Consequently, those beliefs were main factors influencing societal thinking and way of life. However, even though the two sets of knowledge appear to be antagonistic, They can co-exist under ideal conditions without opposing each other.
